To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EZEKIEL V. BURROW, a citizen of the United States,residing at Monrovia, in the county of Madison and State of Alabama,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cultivators; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, ref erence being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

The special object of the invention is to make the frame of a singlecotton-cultivator so that it will be strong, durable, and withalinexpensive, while the proper set of the toothholding cross-head withrespect to the beam will always be preserved and the line of draft bealways at the center of strain.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a plan view; Fig. 2 a perspective and Fig. 3a detail view.

In the drawings, A represents the cultivator-teeth, which may be of anypreferred shape and design.

B is the beam, made of metal and provided with the usual handles 0 O,bolted together on opposite'sides of the beam and supported by the rodsD D. The beam B is first bent out at b, so as to form an obtuse angle,and then bent in an opposite direction at b to form a Serial No.612,212. on model.)

E is a brace secured to the beam by bolts at one end and by clamps atthe other end, so as to prevent any strain from changing the localrelation of the cross-head to the beam.

On the cross-head B the shanks of the teeth are secured by means of thebox-clamps G, which consist of the curved yoke g, the washers g, and thenuts g which screw upon the threaded ends of the yoke. The line of draftis midway between the teeth, so that the beam, substantially as shownand described.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
